Re: Distinguished Women

In your own link, 16 women were killed of 350,000 that served. The extreme small KIA rate suggests that they were not exposed to a lot of action. If the WIA rate was a hundred times the KIA rate that still means only a tiny number of US women were in dangerous situations. In the case of men the WIA to KIA rate is much less about 2:1, A little higher for marines, lower for US Army.

To me that suggest the number of WIA for women was likely less then 50. Therefore women were either not exposed to much danger, or super incredible lucky.
